| SECTION 4: FIRST-AID MEASURES | |
THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES ARE RECOMMENDED AS EMERGENCY FIRST AID ONLY. THEY
ARE NOT INTENDED TO REPLACE OR SUPPLANT THE TREATMENT ADVICE OF A PHYSICIAN
OR OTHER AUTHORIZED HEALTH CARE SPECIALIST.
INHALATION:
MOVE PERSON TO FRESH AIR. IF PERSON IS NOT BREATHING, CALL 911 OR AN
AMBULANCE, AND THEN GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION, PREFERABLY MOUTH-TO-MOUTH
IF POSSIBLE. CALL A POISON CONTROL CENTER OR DOCTOR FOR FURTHER TREATMENT
ADVICE.
SKIN CONTACT:
TAKE OFF CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. RINSE SKIN IMMEDIATELY WITH PLENTY OF WATER
FOR 15-20 MINUTES. CALL A POISON CONTROL CENTER OR DOCTOR FOR FURTHER
TREATMENT ADVICE.
EYE CONTACT:
HOLD EYE OPEN AND RINSE SLOWLY AND GENTLY WITH WATER FOR 15-20 MINUTES.
REMOVE CONTACT LENSES, IF PRESENT, AFTER THE FIRST 5 MINUTES, THEN CONTINUE
RINSING EYE. CALL A POISON CONTROL CENTER OR DOCTOR FOR FURTHER TREATMENT
ADVICE.
IF SWALLOWED:
CALL A POISON CONTROL CENTER OR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY FOR TREATMENT ADVICE.
HAVE PERSON SIP A GLASS OF WATER IF ABLE TO SWALLOW. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING
UNLESS TOLD TO DO SO BY A POISON CONTROL CENTER OF DOCTOR. DO NOT GIVE
ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.
CHLORINE DIOXIDE VAPORS ARE EMITTED WHEN THIS PRODUCT CONTACTS ACIDS OR
CHLORINE. IF THESE VAPORS ARE INHALED MOVE PERSON INTO FRESH AIR. IF NOT
BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN. MONITOR
PATIENT CLOSELY FOR DELAYED DEVELOPMENT OF PULMONARY EDEMA WHICH MAY OCCUR
UP TO 48-72 HOURS POST INHALATION.
| SECTION 5: FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES | |
SUBSTANCE DOES NOT BURN BUT SUPPORTS THE COMBUSTION OF FLAMMABLE SUBSTANCES
THROUGH THE LIBERATION OF OXYGEN. WATER IS THE PREFERRED EXTINGUISHING
MEDIA WHEN IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE BURNING SUBSTANCE. IF WATER IS NOT
COMPATIBLE, USE DRY POWDER EXTINGUISHER.
BURNING WILL RELEASE HYDROGEN CHLORIDE GAS (HCl) AND OXIDES OF SODIUM
(NaOX).
FIREFIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS (SCBA) IF
NECESSARY.
| SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURE:
SPILLS MAY BE FLUSHED TO A DESIGNATED AND PERMITTED SEWER SYSTEM WITH THE
AMOUNT OF WATER THAT IS ABOUT 10 TIMES THE AMOUNT OF THE SPILL. DO NOT
DISCHARGE THIS PRODUCT TO STORM DRAINS OR TO ANY SURFACE OR GROUNDWATER
SOURCE UNLESS SPECIFICALLY ALLOWED UNDER A VALID NPDES PERMIT.
| SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
HANDLING:
USE PRODUCT ONLY AS DIRECTED BY THE LABEL. AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN AND
EYES; AVOID BREATHING ANY VAPORS OR FUMES RESULTING FROM PRODUCT
ACTIVATION. WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING. THOROUGHLY RINSE ALL PROTECTIVE
GEAR AND HANDLING EQUIPMENT, SUCH AS TRANSFER PUMPS AND LINES, WITH WATER
PRIOR TO REUSE OR STORAGE. KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN, ANIMALS, AND
UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL.
